Source-based research, not a hands-on playtest. The previous clock setting and claim that the shadow puzzle was merely a fan label have been withdrawn after checking the accessible chapter walkthroughs.
Solutions by mechanism
- Candles and mask, Coalhaven: put Potboy on the marked position for three flames; shoot the other two with the Matchlock. Collect the mask behind the door and give it to the seated figure outside. Running a solo loop is not the intended coordination described by the guide.
- Levers, Nobodyville: install the missing Paper Stick first. The side controls select candle positions and the middle control raises or lowers them. The goal is six raised candles for Potboy to light, not an invented universal lever code.
- Pressure plates: the early paired switches need you and Potboy. Later rooms may need a lured Crawler rather than your companion. Check the chapter's mechanism before leaving a character on the wrong pad.
- Shadow device, Craftsman's Heart: use the three switches to align the star-topped candle on the left and pointing figure on the right. Do not confuse this silhouette room with the sewer's eye puzzle.
- Eyes: hold the close-eyes action and focus on the marked eye. The colour and encounter matter; Moon Mountain's two-Grinner cave uses a blue eye. Blinking without focus is not a blanket solution for every enemy.
- Sound, Coalhaven: follow the Key Critter's jingling between tree hatches for its key. The key opens the route to the Songcatcher, which is exchanged for the Thief's skull.
Clock-puzzle searches: correction
There is no verified universal clock time to enter in this guide. The old precise setting was unsupported and has been removed. If you are in the Craftsman’s Heart, use the three-switch silhouette solution above for the shadow device, or follow the pointing statues for the sewer eyes. Those documented mechanisms do not use a fixed clock code. This is not proof that no clock object appears anywhere in the game; do not apply a guessed time to a different room.
Questions
What time is the clock puzzle?
A fixed setting could not be verified in this revision. Use the room-specific eye or shadow instructions if those are the mechanisms in front of you; this page does not supply a guessed time.
Where is the mask puzzle?
Coalhaven, on the Thief's arm route. Coordinate Potboy's three candles with your two Matchlock shots, then put the recovered mask on the figure outside.
Is there a shadow puzzle?
Yes. The Craftsman's Heart has a three-switch silhouette device. Match the star-topped candle and pointing figure; it is separate from closed-eye barriers.
